Next: The Cobalt
Reliable report reveal the United
States ia now capable of produoing a
cobalt bomb, which is far more deadly
than the hydrogen bombs exploded in
the Pacific in March and April. The
cobalt bomb is actually a hydrogen
bomb encased In a shell of cobalt
Art Koine valorized in an explosion,
cobalt, unlike steel which has-been
used in the past," is transformed into
a radio-active cloud of far more pene
trative strength than radium.
The cloud is said to be able to travel
thousands of miles and covers an area
hundreds of miles in diameter. It is
tvne of bomb which has been
termed the greatest threat to civiliza
tion and this is the bomb Einstein said
might annihilate life on earth.
One difficulty about the weapon is
the fact that it cannot be tested in the
Pacific, or anywhere else in the world,
because of the deadly consequences.
However,, it is reliably reported U. S.
scientists learned enough in the recent
hydrogen bomb test to build the cobalt
bomb and maintain it ready for use,
even though no tests are made with it
The advent of this third atomic
bomb casts a threat over humanity
which has never been equalled in the
history of the human race. Even if
the atomic and hydrogen bombs did
not make it evident . that atomic war
fare cannot be nermitted on this earth,
the arrival of the cobalt bomb makes
it obvious that such weapons must not
be used in any new war. I
These- new weapons, which actually
stagger the imagination, can either
be the downfall of civilization, or light
the way to a new era of industrial de
velopment. The present generation is in the uni
que position of being responsible for
the course to be followed. The choice,
even among, aggressors, should not be
hard to make.

President N. C. Federation of
Home Demonstration Clubs
It is with a feeling of pride in our
organization that I greet you on the
occasion of the 9th observance of Nat
ional Home Demonstration Week. I
know you rejoice with me in this
opportunity to tell the world of what
Home Demonstration work means to
you and me, to our families, to our
communities, to our state and nation.
There 'are 47,000 of us in North
Carolina who have come to know and
appreciate the scope of the home eco
nomics information available to us
through the extension service. At our
monthly club, meetings we are given
trained assistance and timely infor
mation In the use of more efficient
home-making methods and techniques;
in food production, conservation and
preparation; in the wise use of family
income; in the training and guidance
of children and youth; in the selection
and care of clothing and household
equipment; in the - development of
team work in the family; and many
other subjects looking toward a better
life tot all people. . ,' f. t -.
Within recent years the scope of
our program has broadened to include
such fields as health and safety, citi
zenship, international relations, edu-
fields we have done work of far-reaching
importance. ' Such a program of'
education and service Is a powerful
force in the life of our State.
No one will dispute the loaric of our
continuing theme of the week Today's!
Home Builds Tomorrow's ' World."
That is another way of saying that
home-builders are. world builders. The
home demonstration program gives us
the tools and the know-how. It is our
responsibility to use them so that to
morrow's world will indeed be a bet
ter world. . .

Pension Plan
For Self -Employed
A new idea involving a tax-free
sum of money, to be set aside each
year by self-employed persons, is be
ing given serious consideration on
capitol Hill. Although the general
consensus of opinion is that the plan
will not be enacted into law this year,
nevertheless strong support from par
ty leaders from both major parties
has been expressed.
Briefly, the new plan would allow
self-employed persons who are not
covered by company pension plans or
other pension plans to set aside a
certain amount of money each year
(tax-free) for their old age. The Fed
eral Government would not collect tax
es on this money although it would
limit the amount set aside.
The maximum amount allowed put
aside would cover those persons in a
very high income bracket Those earn
ing less money would be allowed to
pui aside smaller sums each year. At
any time of total disability, or death,
or at the age of 65, the money paid in
over the years would be available in
a lump sum or in payments. The re
ceiver of that money would pay in
come tax on it at the normal rates.
Some such plan is needed because
there are estimated tn Ka unnonnn
.. - .,WVW,VVV
seii-employed persons not now cover
ed Dy some sort or pension plan. They
are not able to . set aside enough
money for their future in most cases,
and because of the fact that they must
pay an increasing percentage of tax
es on surplus money put aside, many
find it difficult to provide adequate
ly -for old age. The growing accept
ance of pension plans for employees
has been rapid and the time is fast
approaching when practically all em
ployees will enjoy some sort of old
age security.
There is no reason to penalize self
employed persons. The new plan Do
ing given consideration on Capitol Hill
should be acted upon. In a free enter
prise country where initiative and ag
gressiveness are supposed to pay divi
dends, it is inconsistent to penalize
self-employed persons while employees
and businesses alike are given tax
exemption on money set aside for pen
sion purposes.

TRY A WEEKLY CLASSIFIED AD
1 You Can Relax;;
, Take it easy. Relax. Don't be ner
vous. How1 often people say those
words, and they only tend to make us
more nervous. You know that you
would feel better if you could relax.
But you can't take it easy just by
gritting your teeth and saying you
will. vv.;vv:
You can relax, but not if you try too
hard. If you try too hard to do any
thing, you can't do your best For
example, you may practice a speech in
the quiet of your home and it comes
out easily, but when you stand up In
front of the audience grimly determ
ined to make a good impression your
mind may go blank. What probably
happens is that you clench your fists,
wrinkle your brow, and grit your
teeth. The nerve messages received in
the brain from those tense muscles
signal danger as if you were facing
a pack of raging lions with your back
to the wall. So, too much effort jams
the mechanism.
Perhaps you can't help being anx
ious about that speech, or whatever is
the particular troublemaker than caus
es your tension. But you can learn
